Thanks for this feedback. After two days I found the solution:
if ($this->Post->findByTitle($this->data['Post']['title']))
{
$var =
$this->Post->findByTitle($this->data['Post']['title']);
$this->redirect('/posts/view/' .
$var['Post']['id']);
}
and it worked.
I also did:
$var = $this->Post->findByTitle($this->data['Post']['title']);
if (!empty($var))
{
$this->redirect('/posts/view/' . $var['Post']['id']);
}
which works too but is cleaner. please note that
$var['Post']['id'] works
$var[0]['id'] does not work.
If someone can let me know why? it woudl be appreciated.
Thanks
